This review on my face and neck surgery with Dr Rizk has taken me a few months because I want it to be as detailed as he is. I came to Dr Rizk as a revision case. After my first surgery I was left a complete disaster. A complete fail. Not a few minor tweaks, but I was left with a completely distorted face and neck. I spoke to surgeons on both coasts about revision surgery and its a tough go of things. To put it bluntly, nobody wanted to touch me. Who wants this mess on their operating table. As a few surgeons said, “I am not trained for what you will need.” At least they were honest. Then I was introduced to Dr Rizk. It all starts with the first call…Dila. She spoke to me so kindly and in that instant I took my first deep breath in 18 months. She had seen the pictures I sent in and took the time to compassionately offer her heart. Assuring me everything was going to be okay. That is not typical of a plastic surgery office…trust me. I have spoken to dozens of offices and first point of contact needs to take lessons from Dr Rizk’s team. I flew to NYC to meet with Dr Rizk and his knowledge and expertise blew me away. He carefully went over every square inch of my face, neck, and eyes and explained exactly how he was going to approach my surgery. His enthusiasm for his chosen field is like a shot of dopamine. The man loves what he does, and he brings you into the conversation. He wants you to be in the know. His transparency, skills, and personality calmed my fears. He listens, he cares, he loves the problem solving. The challenge. You can feel it as he speaks. There is no doubt that Dr Rizk planned to be the best in the field. Learn about his background…as my daughter said, “How is all that possible, in that amount of time? Ok, so he’s a unicorn!” His entire office invests in the patients. I felt as if my family had just grown after meeting them. Everyone cares and they all know exactly what is happening with each case. The nurses Tatyana and Jola are at the top of their profession, and wonderful at hand holding if you need it. Dila is etched into my heart for life! Heidi and Daniela….. call them the Dream Team for a reason! There is a lot of mental security in knowing that an entire office is aware of your surgery and can help with questions that you may have. Surgery day….I was excited. I knew I was in the most skilled hands and Dr Rizk was going to put me back together – although he had no idea what he was going to see once he got in there! Dr. Scolnick was my anesthesiologist and took away every concern I had! Krill was the surgical assistant and was in the operating room when I walked in. I felt cared for in a way I can’t quite describe. I am walking proof that Dr Rizk is the best. He was checking on my progress, in person, for days. If I thought he was effervescent and enthusiastic prior to my surgery….well, he was lit up explaining what he did to make me whole, and feel beautiful again. My revision surgery is flawless. I felt incredible on day 2. I don’t think I had even one bruise. I do not have a scar anywhere….how does this man/surgeon stitch these teeny individual mini stitches? He’s magical and I look 20 years younger! Additionally, I require another surgery – on my eyes. Believe it or not – my upper and lower bleph was horrific. Dr Rizk has worked together with the occuloplastic surgeon in order to prepare me for that surgery in January. Dr Rizk needed to ‘prepare’ the area in such a way to provide the occuloplastic surgeon with enough extra skin to help achieve the success on this delicate procedure on my eyes. I will then return to Dr Rizk for one final review. And maybe some laser and less invasive work for the icing on this cake 😉 This is a process. Dr Rizk said, “I am here for you. From beginning to end, we will get this all fixed.” He has so much integrity and I know that he and his staff will see me through all of this. I am so thankful and I am so blessed.
